NATHAN SHELLKOPF

Master Craftsman / Production Manager

Nate is a fourth-generation woodworker having his craft passed down to him from his great-grandfather. The son of a talented interior designer mom and an engineer dad, who taught him the value of hard work and woodworking skills early in life, Nate decided to pursue it as a career in his early-twenties. After apprenticing at a Brooklyn-based wood shop for several years, honing and mastering his skills, Nate established his own woodworking business in 2005 in Brooklyn, NY. Over the past 20 years, Nate has amassed a highly specialized collection of skills, which he applies daily in overseeing the production of beautifully crafted pieces of custom furniture, millwork and historic doors.  He has an outstanding ability to solve technical and aesthetic issues, a skill that clients greatly appreciate.  

When it comes to historic door reproductions, Nate is the ultimate expert. Clients appreciate his extensive knowledge of period architecture details and wood properties.
